Kathleen Wynne is a Canadian politician who served as the 25th Premier of Ontario from 2013 to 2018. A member of the Ontario Liberal Party, she was the first woman and the first openly LGBTQ+ person to hold the position of Premier. Wynne's administration focused on progressive policies, including raising the minimum wage and introducing paid sick days, which were later reversed by her successor Doug Ford.
